1 Samuel 17:4-7
Contemporary English Version
4 The Philistine army had a hero named Goliath who was from the town of Gath and was about three meters[a] tall. 5-6 He wore a bronze helmet and had bronze armor to protect his chest and legs. The chest armor alone weighed about 57 kilograms. He carried a bronze sword strapped on his back, 7 and his spear was so big that the iron spearhead alone weighed about seven kilograms. A soldier always walked in front of Goliath to carry his shield.
